Someone needs to sit that guy down and tell him when you throw the ball over the plate people do not get good swings on you....



I have watched him a lot having him in 2 nfbc leagues-IMO it is not a matter of mechanics with him as much as being scared. He also fields his position terribly.



I almost sat him for tonight obviously wish I would have.

I was looking through the boxes over the last several days and besides the low BA trend, another trend I think I am seeing is more free passes this year than I remember noticing in years past. I do not have any hard numbers (yet), just an impression. Might just be an April thing (I hope), but I just don't recall quite so many and not just from my pitchers.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
